Well its that time of the year again where we can say "winter is coming". Quick story( We follow certain families trying to take a throne.) ( Starks, Lanisters, Mother of Dragons... ETC..)
So at the beginning of the first episode we see after the events of season 3 that everyone knows about what happened to Rob Stark and Kat. And while it deeply affects Sansa and Arya, ( and a little bit Tyrion as he actually feels pretty bad for Sansa,) everyone else is moving along like its not big deal. They are preparing for Joffery's wedding to Margery and don't think anything could touch them. In the mean time some of the best scenes are between Arya and the Hound who has one of the best lines of the night when he balks at stealing Arya a horse.
Arya: So your okay with killing little boys but stealing is beneath you?
Hound: A man's gotta have a code.
They are seriously one of the best duos in the show. Their scenes are well written, and really are rich with development for their characters.
Meantime the mother of Dragons is figuring out that you can't tame a dragon..eventually...they might light you on fire.
Episode two is all about the wedding of Joffery and Margery. Most intense episode so far...(I know their have only been two..) but some of Peter Dinklage (Tyrion) and Jack Gleeson's (Joffery) best work. Lets just say... Ned Stark gets redeemed...but by who? We also get an insite to Tyrion who has grown to care for Sansa, and the only Lannister that see's the destruction of the Stark house is a bad thing.
Jamie Lannister also gets to come to some realizations about his newly minted gold hand...like it doesn't work, and he's going to have to practice if he's going to be able to defend anyone.
Another good moment comes when Cersei confront Briene about her relationship with Jamie. Which we know is innocent, but its clear, Cersei is jealous of the closeness they share. When Briene admits Jamie saved her a few times, you can see how ticked off Cersei is.
All in all, each episode was pretty terrific, and glad to have it back to watch.
Grade A for both.
